Eyeko: Liptastiks and Fat Balm

Eyeko is a brand that I've read a lot about over the past few months but felt that the products just didn't appeal to me. This all changed whilst reading a post on Dainty Dollymix's blog reviewing the new Eyeko Liptastiks and toffee Fat Balm. She lured me in with the bright summery colours and the allure of a free gift when I spent over £15, that teamed with free delivery I knew now was the time to take the Eyeko plunge.

I decided to buy three Fat Balm's in Frosting, Minty and Toffee along with the three for two set of Lip Lover, Loud Mouth and Hot Lips Liptastik's.


First of all, I absolutely loved the outside packaging of the Fat Balm's, but was a bit disappointed with the tubing the product comes in. It's very bulky and I find it slightly awkward to apply. Having said that though, I loved the colour's and they made my lips look juicy and glossy. The product can also be used on your cheeks but I personally don't think the texture is right for this.

As you can see from the swatches there is a slight iridescent shimmer to the balms, giving your lips a bit of sparkle (but not in an obvious barbie way). My favourite was Toffee as it gave me the 'my lips but better' look that I always crave from everyday balms.

Although I liked the Fat Balms, the Liptastik's certainly were the star buy.

There is an incredible colour pay off with a gorgeous glossiness. Again the packaging isn't perfect, I just don't really love the grey plastic design but if you can see past this you won't be disappointed by the products. My photo doesn't quite show the difference between Hot Lips and Loud Mouth, but Hot Lips is a more fuchsia hue. My favourite was definitely Hot Lips, what can I say I'm a sucker for bright lips.

Both Liptastik's and Fat Balm's can be purchased from Eyeko's website and are £6.50 each. You can also get the set of Liptastik's I have for £13 at the moment.
